Turbulence and NPF (IMAGE) Science China Press Caption In the nucleation stage, the condensation of precursor gas molecules forms a cluster enhanced by supersaturation induced by turbulence. In the growth stage, the turbulence-dilution effect causes preexisting particles to decrease, leading to a lower coagulation sink and prolonging the fast growth of NPF. Presented on the right-hand side are the molecular dynamic model results illustrating the evolution of the largest particles in simulations under different turbulence conditions.
